I think Stannis gained a lot of brownie points when he went North to help against the wildlings, and then teamed up with the Northerners to defend the North against the people who killed Robb. I think Stannis just gets some love because most fans love the Starks. I always thought they'd make a great team. ^^ But somehow I doubt that GRRM's endgame is for Stannis to win the throne. I'd love him forever if that's how it ended (especially since NOBODY would expect it), but I'm afraid he has more planned with his beloved Targaryens. :( I'm just not sure if GRRM will really end the series with a guy on the throne who's not even a POV character, let alone one of his favourite main characters.
I'm still too sad about all the smart Lannisters being dead to wonder much about Aegon. With Tywin and Kevan gone, I'm fairly sure that the Tyrells will be running the show now. But I suppose you're right, it will be interesting to see how they will deal with this new enemy. It would be kind of epic if Aegon plus Dorne got their asses handed to them by the Tyrells. I want to see a bit more of Randyll Tarly being a badass. ^^
